This site suggests a good way of learning, but I've already been doing all this stuff... xd I don't really like the the guy that made this site though. "I MASTERED JAPANESE IN 1.5 YEARS! YOU CAN TOO!" (that's giving false hope.) "I'M NOT A GENIUS, I WEAR DARK UNDERWEAR TO HIDE MY POOH STAINS" (no one wants to know that) "THE ONLY WAY FOR YOU TO BECOME FLUENT IN JAPANESE IS FOR YOU TO EAT NOTHING BUT JAPANESE, HAVE ONLY JAPANESE POSTERS ON YOUR WALLS, WATCH ONLY JAPANESE TV, AND OH YEAH YOU MUST EAT AT A TRADITIONAL JAPANESE TABLE" (okay... just... wtf?)

I understand what he's getting at- Full-Immersion is the best way to learn a language- but it's not always practical for people who aren't, say, living in that country or have a lot of money and a looot of free time. Also I doubt he learned the language so quickly unless he's rich and, again, had a lot of free time. I know people who have been in Japan, learning Japanese intensively with no breaks for 2 years, and they're still not quite fluent. And that's spending every weekday learning the language.

I love that site, and I agree with the guy who made it. He didn't have a ton of free time to learn Japanese... he just had to turn every bit of time he could find into Japanese. Like, except for the times when it's crucial for your job/school to use English, you should be immersed in Japanese, all the time. On the drive to school/work, at break, doing dishes, falling asleep, etc.
You don't have to be IN Japan to be immersed ~ that's almost the entire point of this AJATT, I think. You create your own immersion enviroment, wherever you are. Japanese kids learn Japanese because that's the language that is around them all the time.
So if you can create that enviroment, then you can start to learn Japanese also. Eventually you'll need some people who actually speak Japanese to help correct you when you start output, but that's covered inthe site too.
Also, where do you get this idea that you have to be rich to pick up a language quickly???!?? What does money have to do with learning a language?!???
I'd say if people are living in Japan and still aren't learning the language, then... geesh... perhaps they should try a different method. Are they just studying grammar books or something? Are they out in the Japanese community, conversing with everyone out there?? That should help them a lot. To just be in the enviroment and have to know the language to get by.
It can be too easy to live in Japan and rely on your gaijin friends and Japanese friends who are practicing their English, and the English version of everything that they might have, etc. and not even learn Japanese at all. You'll really pick up a language once it's vital for you to do so. So you have to create that enviroment wherever you are, Japan or not Japan.

I love AJATT. I used a more toned down version where I just, if I'm out and about and cannot exactly pull out a book, I'd listen to japanese podcasts in Japanese. SBS japanese is one! it's great for listening!
also if I'm on the internet I read japanese websites. I bought a book called "read real japanese", I thought in japanese and if I had spare time somewhere, like on the bus, I'd brush up on grammar or kanji.
it seriously helped me mrgreen
